Cleveland Indians: Francisco Lindor’s new villain role is alarming

June 14, 2015, the Cleveland Indians are down 5-0 in Detroit when the Tribe pulls David Murphy for pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor, marking his major league debut. Lindor would strike out in that at-bat, but would come back in the ninth inning for a single off Tigers closer Joakim Soria, rounding first and falling flat on his face in one of the more memorable first hits in recent Cleveland history.
